Craig has been a regular visitor to our Cuppa & Chat - Bereavement Drop-In Sessions since the loss of his beloved wife in April last year, and has very graciously opened up about his experience surviving grief.

We truly have no words and know his story will inspire many others on their bereavement journey. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

The first official Fitzroy Community Hospice Auxiliary event was a runaway success! The Mother's Day High Tea brought 100 ladies together in the beautiful Frenchville Sports Club Ltd function rooms and raised over $7,100 for palliative care and bereavement support services in CQ.

Our infinite thanks to Kitty and her team of Kris, Marg, Christina, Bev, Madonna and Carole for all their hard work in delivering this event for the Hospice. We can't wait to see what this amazing volunteer group will do next, and we look forward to growing the High Tea next year!

If you are interested in joining our Auxiliary, please come along to the next meeting on Wednesday 27 May at the Hospice. Please message this page if you aren't able to attend but would like more information.

It's National Volunteer Week and we're celebrating all of the wonderful humans who volunteer with us here at the Hospice. ๐Ÿ’›

We're so blessed to have their help in a wide variety of areas including maintenance and gardening, administration, fundraising and events, personalised support and care for our patients and families, and more. โœจ

We were lucky to see a few of their friendly faces today to show our gratitude for all that they do, and look forward to seeing more of them as the week progresses.

From the bottom of our heart to yours, THANK YOU! ๐Ÿ™

Thank you also to the Caton family at Lush Lychees for generously donating jars of honey for our volunteers this week. ๐Ÿ

From hosting a very successful Advance Care Planning workshop on Monday, to chatting with 'palliative care nurses of tomorrow' at the Capricorn MEGA Careers Expo at CQU yesterday - with Hoist for Hospice 2026 and an engaging morning tea with local indigenous elders in between. It has been incredibly rewarding connecting with so many people and talking about the very special end-of-life care provided to patients and their families at Fitzroy Community Hospice.

We'd like to close out the week reiterating ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐š๐๐ฏ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐œ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐œ๐š๐ง๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐›๐ž ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐.

Thank you CQ Crane Hire for being incredible sponsors of our annual fundraising stunt spectacular. Your support over the past 4 years has been the key to this crucial campaignโ€™s success and we are so tremendously grateful. ๐Ÿ™Œ Letโ€™s go bigger next year! ๐Ÿš€

Thank you to our media partners Triple M Central Queensland and Hit CQ for supporting us again this year. As a Keystone Founding Partner, Triple M and HitCQ are among the brightest stars on our honour roll of loyal supporters.

We look forward to seeing just how high the final Hoist tally will climb. All the links to our Hoistee fundraising pages are in the captions. Please continue to send in your donations if you havenโ€™t already and weโ€™ll announce the final result early next week. ๐Ÿ—๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿค
